3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Xfinity has just released its Jurassic Park-themed Super Bowl ad that features a digitally de-aged Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://bit.ly/4rmRhrK

Opposers will say that this adoration/appreciation/whatever is a consequence of his charm and not his policies.

I have genuinely *never* seen an NYC mayor get an ovation from a TV crowd before. I thought we were contractually obligated to boo them.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

in the domestic violence analogy, this is the part where dad has to come up with excuses as to why the 5 year old has two broken arms and wants to make sure you know he works really long hours
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I will admit that a part of me I don't love thought that some of the impetus behind the general strike was the weather. As in, "Sure, I'll boycott everything and skip work; It's miserable out!"
I am thrilled that that is clearly, overwhelmingly, not the case!

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

If you're stable (housed, fed, spending funds) & haven't changed what you're doing from a year or two ago to actively help folks survive fascism, then what you're doing now is assimilating to fascism.
Stop it.
This will not pass without action from everyone who can act.

This is such an engantic idea!
Exactly, you can just say stuff! Enweird your language a bit! Maybe people will pick it up from you, but you won't know until you try!
My German-speaking partner also bemoans the absence of "forenoon" in English (vormittag in German). It's gotten to a point where he'll just say it. Be the language change you wish to see in the world, I guess?

It kind of bugs me that there's no such thing as comprehensive, free family MDM. I'd love for there to be an easier way for me to remotely support at least the devices in the Apple ecosystem that are scattered throughout my family.
It is surprising to me that none of the major platforms have actual _parental control_ features so that we can limit the amount of time that our parents can spend online, and which apps they’re allowed to use. I don’t worry about my teenager’s use of the internet at all, just my octogenarian dad’s.
